Design your own IoT wireless platform with an embedded antenna using the latest Virtual Antenna™ technology and related design tools. Go wireless in 3 easy steps by joining Fractus Antennas' workshop and get it completed in one day. Design, build and test your embedded antenna prototype for an IoT platform. Discover and experience the latest chip antenna technology that will make your design faster, cheaper and easier.

WORKSHOP AGENDA

Part I: Why IoT devices need internal antennas? (1h 45min)

• Making design for IoT devices fast, cheap and easy. Go from external to internal in one day.

• How chip antennas change the deal nowadays. Virtual Antenna™ in real life.

o MangOH Yellow by Sierra Wireless: The super sensor for Cellular IoT

o Thingy:91 by Nordic Semiconductor: The prototyping cellular IoT platform with a tunable antenna.

• The IoT antenna. Always the first to think about.

• How to integrate the antenna to get the best results. Easy with Virtual Antenna™

o Antenna design for IoT in 3 easy steps: place, match, test.

o Why is this possible? Virtual Antenna™ technology for an easy IoT design.

Part II: Designing real IoT examples with National Instruments-AWR Microwave Office Software (2h 30min)

• Adapt a chip antenna to your own IoT device in a jiffy: matching Virtual Antenna with NI AWR Design Environment (Microwave Office) and its Network Synthesis Wizard.

• Designing your IoT device with embedded antenna using: MangOH Yellow and Thingy:91as a starting prototyping platform:

o Design a single-band NB-IoT sensor platform with an embedded antenna.

o Design a multiband smart tracking IoT platform with an embedded antenna.

o Design a multiband smart metering IoT platform with an embedded antenna.

o Design a global IoT sensor platform with a tunable matching network with an embedded antenna.

Part III: Hardware Part – Design, Implementation and Measurement with the R&S Vector Network Analyzer (2h)

• Build your own NB-IoT sensor platform with embedded antenna

• In-situ hands-on work starting from scratch: design, implement and test your IoT module.
